A spooky scene is sure to stir up the Halloween vibes in Salmon Arm.

Spooktacular at R.J. Haney Heritage Village and Museum is back for its 25th year, Oct. 21-22.

Gates open at 5 p.m. for the family friendly fright night and amusements abound until 8:30. Latest admission will be at 7:30 p.m. and tickets cost $10 per person, with those under four getting in free. Kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

While there are plenty of sights to spook and scare you, the Pumpkin Patch Path winds its way through the grounds with not-so-scary rhymes, games and treats for little ones to enjoy. Mt. Ida Church also offers a slightly less scary scene with some haunting stories being told.

Other features include a mystical fortune teller, a mad scientistÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s diagnostics lab and the many games to play at the Hocus Pocus Midway. A photo studio with a Lord of the Rings theme offers a keepsake of the evening.

Spookier attractions take the brave of heart through a haunted house, along the boardwalk into scary shops and to the end of a dark trail crawling with creatures.

A fire pit, kidÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s colouring and crafts station and food trucks will be on-site to calm your nerves after youÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™re through with the nightÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s thrills and chills.

Volunteers are wanted to help make the night as creepy as can be. Contact volunteer@salmonarmmuseum.org to help.

Call 250-832-5243, visit salmonarmmuseum.org or the museumÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s Facebook page to find out more.
